Submit a PhotoSamantha C. Dudish was called home on Monday May 5th 2025. Samantha was born to Paul and Roxanne Dudish in Buffalo New York on November 30th 1993. Samantha is survived by her parents Paul and Roxanne, her brother Paul, her two beautiful children Madison and Ashton; as well, as her grandfather, aunts, uncles and cousins.
Samantha graduated from Lancaster High School in 2011 and relocated to Arizona to attend class at Arizona State University. Samantha was a fun loving free spirit who loved animals, all types of music, a good laugh, and taking selfies. Her heart was huge, with a love for the elderly and a special generosity for the homeless. Samantha’s incredibly charismatic personality was infectious and will be missed by all those who knew and loved her. Samantha had several quirky sayings, one of them was “do you miss me?” And the answer Samantha is you’ll never know how much!
While our hearts mourn the loss of Samantha we take comfort in knowing she is finally at peace.
A memorial service will be held Saturday May 31st at 1000 AM at Gilbert Memorial Park located at 2100 E. Queen Creek Road in Gilbert.
